South Korea Again - Day 5 (DREAM HIGH filming location)

Annyeong haseyo chinggus!

Our first destination is the FULL HOUSE filming location located in Shido  Island, this place is kinda far from Seoul. First we head to Seoul Station, the busiest and one of the largest stations in Korea.

Seoul Station

We go at UNSEO Station, same way going to Incheon International Airport. Travel time from Seoul Station to Unseo station is almost an hour. Then we need to ride a bus, now the challenging part here is what bus # will be heading to Sammock Ferry Terminal. The bus stop is located behind Lotte Mart, so we just asked some Koreans what bus # is going to the ferry terminal. So since this place is kinda far from Seoul, we had a hard time talking someone in English, but I just said "SAMMOCK" and they understand :) 

Now we know what bus # ride, that would be bus #702. We need to cross to the other side of the lane for the bus stop going to Sammock, luckily one halmoni/grandma is waiting for bus # 702, and the thing is, the bus will arrive for about 30 minutes, woah the waiting time!!! ^^

Finally the bus came and halmoni is so kind to assist us/to follow her :) 

When we reach the ferry terminal, most of them don't know how to speak English, as they were saying something to us that we cannot really understand, they even made a sign language just to let us know that there will be no FERRY going back, so we have to stay overnight at Shido Island, hahahaha it takes us almost 30 minutes to understand what they are trying to say. As the wave is strong, so they decided not to sail. The weather was kinda bad at that time, it is the coldest day of our stay, really cold!!!!

So in the end .... FAIL to reach FULL HOUSE filming location! Well I've been to the place, it's my dongsaeng who insist going there. Anyways, we don't want to waste time, so we immediately go back to Seoul.

Bus Stop

Okay, so we almost waste half of the day! Replacing FULL HOUSE location would be DREAM HIGH filming location, located in INCHEON. Another long travel for us, this was supposed to be on our itinerary because we failed to go here yesterday. Just to save the day we are going to this place!

Reaching INCHEON Station, woah another province like place! According to my map, Incheon Art School is just a minute away from the station, luckily we came across to this Korean girl who speaks English very well :) She assists us with the Tourist information, then she ask the location and get a map, and she explains it to us, she says that it's about 15 mins walk, with that weather we decided to take a cab instead of walking. It is a very very VERY short ride amounting 2,400won, finally we are in the DREAM HIGH filming location! KIRIN HIGH SCHOOL in the drama, this place is known as INCHEON ART PLATFORM.

One of  my favorite drama is DREAM HIGH 1, so I'm really happy that I'm here!

A lot of scene here in the bridge

from Ep 15

Still managed to explore this place even it was so cold! 

I've read that there was some kind of exhibit inside, we didn't bother going in and just enjoyed the place. The fact that I'm now in the actual filming location of Dream High 1 & 2, I'm satisfied :)

As we go on, we felt that it's really getting cold, like we can't take it anymore, like we couldn't stay more on this place, because it's like freezing! Despite of complaining the cold weather, we still snap photos that's seen in the drama ^^
